I really don’t know or remember how I came up with this teaching format. I just know that I want my students to have a good workout and at the same time practice good boxing technique.
A way I get my students to practice good technique is through repetition of basic punching combinations every round on the punching bag / heavy bag. So first of all, are you left handed or right handed?
Now we find a strong conferable boxing stance with dominate hand behind, being held furthest from the punching bag / heavy bag. The first combination I teach students is “double jab 1,2,1,2” over and over for the first round till round ends. Second basic punching combination I teach is “1,2,3,5,4,3”. Third basic punching combination I teach is “1,2,3,4,5,6”. Last combination I like to teach is “play with the jab first and when you feel ready get a good grip of the ground and shoot 3 uppercut and finish with 3 hooks then go right back to playing with the jab, repeat”. These are the basic punching combinations I teach and drill it till the point where students aren’t counting the numbers in their head, just freely letting their hands go with speed, power and good technique. A Drill I use for punching conditioning, stamina and endurance on the punching bag / heavy bag is for two rounds I make students throw 300 punches, 100 straight, 100 uppercuts, 100 hooks and if done with all 300 punches before round is over freestyle till end of round. Another drill I use for punching conditioning, stamina and endurance is one I call the “shoot / box”, which is a freestyle round with 10-15 seconds punching sprints on the punching bag / heavy bag, so through out the round I would yell shoot and the student will attack the bag non stop with both hands till I yell box and now they catch their breath while boxing. This is more or less the format I use and not only I see progress in my student boxing technique I also see huge progress in their fitness / conditioning. After boxing drills are done we end the class with a 10 minute strength and conditions fat burning circuit, 10 exercises, 1 minute each exercise.
